Regen

Type this in and see if you have a regen with the same name. I noticed quite a few people do have one in there save. Does he work for SI or something?

Yes I have this regen, an English AM RLC.

IRL he is the AFL CEO and has recently been involved in a standoff over the use of certain stadiums for Australia's World Cup bid. The problem is that the stadium in question is 50K seats - and there are no other suitable venues, meaning that another 45K+ seater would have to be built.

I think that was the plan all along because it would mean that the government would build the new stadium and then it could be used after the world cup for more afl, rugby or soccer matches.

Why would HE be a regen in the game????? Someone will turn up 15 year old Sepp Blatter next!

Aren't those who help SI e.g. researchers given the chance to be part of faceinthegame?

newgen, not regen.

also http://www.sigames.com/faceinthegame/ think they stopped with it.

He's a left winger in my game - actually plays for me (well youth team to be fair) he's a good prospect as well.

newgen, not regen.

They stopped it being open to everyone, but it is still available for researchers.

Yeah, Nomis is right. SI employees and researchers show up as newgens in the game. I think they share the same name, dob and favourite club but everything is random.

newgen, not regen.

FREDs actually not newgens, if you want to get technical.

what are FREDs

what are FREDs

i can't remember what it stands for but its the correct term for newgens in the game, newgens were really when a player retired and it gave them a new name, nationality and put them in the game as a youngster but FREDs are the newer version where youth players have randomly generated PAs, CA, nationalities, names and positions and it's no longer related to player retirements.

i dont have him in my game

the amount of times PMLF has graced my team is unbelievable, pretty sure he's bribed SI to always be the best of the lot .

Also, yes Demetriou is in my game

Isn't regen an old retired player reappearing? Regen = regeneration.

Newgen's are newly created and it's them that are the ones technically called FREDs. That's how I understand it at least.

But anyway, I have that name too in one of my saves.

A regen was when a player retired and he kept everything the same but entered the game with a different name and at a much younger age.

Then it was changed to newgens where a player retires and then they are re-entered into the game with a different, name, age (obviously), nationality and i'm not sure whether pa or ca changed, i don't think it was.

And then came FREDs where new players entering the game have no relation to retiring players. Instead they are generated with random PAs, CAs, names, nationalities and positions.

As said before Andrew Demetriou is an idiotic administrator of an idiotic sport.

Copied off the wonderful wiki

I read that after I posted, pretty much what I said tbf.

Is this a different Andrew Demetriou to the AFL CEO? Seems to be a bit strange that he would be included in FM, seeing as he is making bids against Australia hosting the World Cup due to the AFL stadiums needing to be used.

Doesn't seem to be a common name, but a very strange case if he is in the game after all.

not sure who he is but he seems to be in quite a few peoples save

Is he cypriot ?

Demetriou is cypriot surname (very common surname)

Is one of the researchers I guess. Just happens to share the same name.

Poor bloke. Feel sorry for someone to share that name

You're half right. AFL is not an idiotic sport.

Now i don't want to start a conspiracy theory but i thinked this was planned by AFL and the FFA as a plan to push the government into help paying for a brand new stadium in melbourne. I mean the government has poured a lot of money into helping to bring the world cup to Australia they'd probably be willing to build a new stadium to settle the dispute.

He is in my game too. Has anyone contacted the AFL for a comment?

that would be a bit extreme lol

He is somewhat related to SI...Decent in my game though, from my ManUtd academy...Sold him after 2 seasons

AFL an idiotic sport?

You've got no clue.

You've got no clue.

NRL is better and the TV ratings prove it

Could of sworn that this guy played for Leyton Orient...

1) Thats not true - find me some stats supporting your evidence. Complete lie.

2) AFL also gets a higher average attendance.

Actually we still call them Newgens at SI. FREDs are pretty much a term only used by some people on the forums.

I’d say going from this, AFL is A LOT more popular in Australia than NRL.

Just found Bardi Golriz .

He did testing at SEGA a couple years ago on FM08 to the last of my knowledge, alongside Ackter and others who are in the game from then and presumably since then. He came up in conversation on these boards a while back, and may still be around on them his username is something along the lines of Andrew.

But yea, unless he's jetted around the world and aged 20 odd years, I don't think he's anything to do with the australian leagues for any sport lol. Generally looking through the credits for testers would give you a rough idea of new people being added each year as newgen/regens names.

free to air the AFL smashed NRL but the AFL is shown on 2 free to air networks compared to the NRL. Pay tv (Foxtel) the NRL canes them with 60 of the top 100 shows on Foxtel in 2009 being NRL games (http://www.talkingfooty.com/tv_ratings_2009.php).

Now back to Andrew Demetriou, he is regen defender on my game playing for Leeds in 2014 (Im Chelsea) and too be quitre frank he is rubbish

Yes but the same amount of games are shown on FTA, Garry - Doesnt make a difference.

The AFL/NRL debate is a pretty redundant argument isn't it? the AFL is popular in southern states (Melb, SA)and the NRL is popular in the Eastern states (SYD, QLD) . As far as i can see , as a scotsman who has live in OZ for 7 years, they both seem to me to be equally well supported.

hahah classic thread.

show yourself boy.

I missed the deadline to get in the game

didn't you get fired for saying somthing similar to this?

I have a lot of "smiths" and "coles" in my game. I guess a lot of Joe Smiths and David Coles work at SI.

@ garryg33 - I would think before commenting. NRL is a shambles and barely followed both at the field and on tv. Its a sport merely for the average Australian family, with a centrelink income, low IQ and a home supplied by the dept of housing. The average NRL fan also names their kids Shazza, Wayne and Davo.

.

did you not see all the messages slagging you off?

Jealous much?

I think this thread has run it's course.
